Atosa Refrigerators

Atosa refrigerators are trusted by restaurants, bars, cafés, and food trucks for their heavy-duty stainless steel construction, R290-efficient compressors, and consistent temperature control — all backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty (extended warranty available) plus a 5-year compressor warranty. Shop our full selection of reach-in refrigerators, undercounter units, glass-door merchandisers, and food-truck models, most of which are ENERGY STAR rated and NSF-certified for professional foodservice.

Atosa Refrigerators

Your restaurant refrigerator is the workhorse of the kitchen. It runs 24/7, holds thousands of dollars in inventory, and takes a beating from every rush. An Atosa refrigerator is built for exactly that reality: heavy stainless steel construction, R290 hydrocarbon compressors, precise digital temperature control, and pricing that leaves room in the budget for the rest of your line. That combination is why Atosa has become one of the most-specified refrigeration brands for independent restaurants, bars, cafés, and food trucks across the United States.

The Restaurant Warehouse stocks the full Atosa refrigeration lineup: top-mount and bottom-mount reach-ins, low-height food-truck models, dual-temp cabinets, glass-door merchandisers, and solid-door and drawer-style undercounters. Every unit ships direct from an authorized Atosa distributor, is backed by Atosa's full factory warranty, and is available with fast freight nationwide.

Why Kitchens Choose Atosa

Built to Take a Beating

A professional kitchen is a demanding environment. Doors get slammed, sheet pans get bumped, spills happen, and cleaning crews hit the exterior with degreasers every night. Atosa refrigerators are wrapped in sturdy 430-series stainless steel with heavy-duty PVC-coated shelves that hold significant weight without bowing. The door hinges are self-closing and cam-lift, so the door pulls itself shut even when your line cook has both hands full. The overall build is designed to remain a dependable part of your kitchen for a decade or more, not a piece of equipment you have to replace every few years.

Lower Utility Bills

Compare electricity use model by model rather than assuming a refrigerant or brand guarantees a fixed saving. Check the exact refrigerator’s published kWh per day and current certification, then multiply daily consumption by your electricity rate and days of operation for an estimate. Browse our ENERGY STAR collection for certified equipment and practical operating-cost guidance. Kitchen conditions, loading, and maintenance affect actual consumption.

Practical Features That Save Time

Every Atosa refrigerator ships with a digital temperature display and thermostat on the front of the cabinet, so your team can verify HACCP temperatures at a glance without opening the door. Interior LED lights come on automatically when the door opens. The evaporator is forced-air, which means recovery is fast after a busy prep session and cold air redistributes evenly across every shelf. Casters are standard on nearly every model, so you can roll the unit out for cleaning without a two-person lift.

Warranty and Support

Atosa’s current written refrigeration warranty lists three years of parts and labor and five years of sealed-compressor coverage, subject to its terms and exclusions. The additional compressor period is not an extension of full parts-and-labor coverage. Keep the model number, serial number, proof of purchase, and installation date available when requesting warranty service, and confirm coverage for the exact unit with Atosa.

Industry Recognition

Atosa is not a startup or a private-label rebrand. The company was named the 2025 IDQ Vendor of the Year, has repeatedly ranked as the No. 1 Volume Vendor in PCR Magazine's dealer survey, and received the FEDA Extraordinary Service Award for its dealer support program. That recognition matters because it means parts, service, and product engineering are backed by an organization that is investing in the brand for the long haul.

Atosa Refrigerator Categories

Top-Mount Reach-In Refrigerators (MBF Series)

Top-mount reach-ins place the refrigeration equipment above the storage cabinet. When comparing an installation, consider overhead heat, access for cleaning and service, and the clearances specified for that model. Top mount is not automatically the best choice for every kitchen. Available configurations include:

• Atosa MBF8004GR — 29-inch one-door, 21.4 cu. ft.
• Atosa MBF8005GR — 52-inch two-door, 43.2 cu. ft.
• Atosa MBF8006GR — 78-inch three-door, 64.9 cu. ft.
• Atosa MBF8011GR — Four solid half-door reach-in for high-turnover kitchens
• Atosa MBF8022GR — 29-inch top-mount with one divided top door and two bottom drawers

Bottom-Mount Reach-In Refrigerators (MBF Series)

Bottom-mount reach-ins place the refrigeration equipment at the base of the cabinet. Consider access for maintenance and exposure to floor-level dust or debris when planning placement. Check the unit’s total height and required ventilation; a bottom-mounted compressor does not by itself make a refrigerator suitable for an enclosed space or an installation beneath cooking equipment.

• Atosa MBF8505GR — 27-inch one-door, 19.1 cu. ft. (right hinge)
• Atosa MBF8505GRL — Same footprint, left hinge for tight corner installs
• Atosa MBF8506GR — Slim 40-inch two-door for narrow lines
• Atosa MBF8507GR — 54-inch two-door, 43.8 cu. ft.
• Atosa MBF8508GR — 82-inch three-door, 68 cu. ft.

Low-Height and Food-Truck Refrigerators

Food trucks, ghost kitchens, and mobile catering rigs need refrigeration that fits under a low pass-through window or roof. Atosa's low-height reach-ins deliver full-size capacity in a shorter cabinet.

• Atosa MBF8519GR — Low-height single-door reach-in designed specifically for food trucks
• Atosa MBF8532GR — Low-height single-door reach-in; confirm dimensions and installation suitability for your vehicle

Dual-Temp Refrigerator / Freezer Combos

When floor space is tight but you need both refrigeration and freezing, a dual-temp cabinet gives you one unit that does both. Each section has its own compressor and thermostat, so temperatures do not drift between the sides.

• Atosa MBF8129GR — Two-section dual-temp refrigerator/freezer combo

Glass-Door Merchandiser Refrigerators (MCF Series)

Glass-door merchandisers are for the front of house: grab-and-go coolers for bottled drinks, salads, sandwiches, desserts, and packaged product. The double-pane glass is heated to prevent condensation, interior LEDs light the product from the top, and the shelves are adjustable to fit anything from a 12-ounce can to a boxed pastry.

• Atosa MCF8705GR — 27-inch single glass door upright merchandiser
• Atosa MCF8707GR — 55-inch two-glass-door upright merchandiser
• Atosa MCF8709GR — 55-inch two-door with sliding glass doors for tight aisles

Undercounter Refrigerators (Solid Door — AUR and MGF Series)

Undercounter refrigerators tuck refrigerated storage directly beneath a work surface, which is the fastest possible workflow for a bar, café, prep station, or food truck. The AUR series is Atosa's current-generation lineup with R290 refrigerant. The MGF series is the previous-generation ENERGY STAR lineup and remains a popular value pick.

• Atosa AUR24SD — 24-inch one-door undercounter
• Atosa AUR27SD — 27-inch one-door undercounter
• Atosa AUR36SD — 36-inch one-door undercounter
• Atosa AUR48SD — 48-inch two-door undercounter
• Atosa AUR60SD — 60-inch two-door undercounter
• Atosa AUR72SD — 72-inch three-door undercounter
• Atosa MGF8401GR — 27-inch one-door undercounter, ENERGY STAR
• Atosa MGF8402GR — 48-inch two-door undercounter, ENERGY STAR
• Atosa MGF8403GR — 60-inch two-door undercounter, ENERGY STAR
• Atosa MGF8404GR — 72-inch three-door undercounter, ENERGY STAR

Undercounter Refrigerators (Drawer Style)

Drawer-style undercounters put pans of prepped product within a fingertip's reach of the cook. They are the standard configuration for chef bases beneath a griddle, charbroiler, or range, and for cold prep stations where the cook is working with hotel pans of proteins, garnishes, or sauces.

• Atosa AUR27D2 — 27-inch, two drawers
• Atosa AUR36D2 — 36-inch, two drawers
• Atosa AUR48D4 — 48-inch, four drawers
• Atosa AU60D4 — 60-inch, four drawers
• Atosa AUR72D6 — 72-inch, six drawers

Compare One-, Two-, and Three-Door Atosa Refrigerators

Start with the job the refrigerator needs to do, not just the largest cabinet that fits. A one-door reach-in can keep frequently used ingredients beside a prep station. A two-door cabinet offers room to separate ingredient groups without committing to a three-section footprint. A three-door reach-in is worth considering when bulk deliveries, several menu stations, or a larger prep schedule make organized reserve storage a priority.

The following examples compare published capacity and standard shelving. Cubic feet alone do not tell you whether your pans, food boxes, or largest containers fit. Check usable shelf dimensions, door openings, and the complete exterior dimensions before ordering.

Specifications are from Atosa's MBF8004GR listing, MBF8006GR listing, and bottom-mount specification sheet. Confirm the current specification sheet for the exact model and production version being supplied.

Plan Ingredient Zones and Shelf Access

Sketch where each ingredient group will go before choosing the cabinet. In a three-door refrigerator, separate sections can organize prep ingredients, packaged items, and reserve stock while following your food-safety storage procedures. Plan first-in, first-out rotation and leave the airflow openings unobstructed. Consider whether staff can retrieve a heavy container without reaching over another container or opening a door into a busy aisle.

For a single-door unit in a corner, check the hinge side and the space needed for the door to open. The MBF8505GRL left-hinge refrigerator is an alternative to the right-hinge MBF8505GR. Compare the actual doorway, cart route, and shelf-removal space rather than relying on the cabinet's advertised width alone.

Match Shelves and Accessories to the Exact Model

Extra shelves can help organize smaller containers, but they are not a substitute for adequate refrigeration capacity. Confirm the model number, shelf dimensions, support clips, and load limit before ordering. On multi-section cabinets, a center shelf may use a different part number from an outer shelf; a shelf sold for another Atosa refrigerator is not automatically interchangeable. Use the current parts list to match replacement gaskets, handles, and accessories as well.

Compare the Installed Cost, Not Just the Purchase Price

Before ordering, ask what is included in freight delivery and what you need to arrange for unloading, moving the cabinet inside, placement, and removal of the old refrigerator. Check the full delivery route, electrical supply, and manufacturer-required ventilation. If replacing an existing unit, compare a qualified repair estimate with the cost of replacement, likely downtime, and your operating needs rather than using a fixed age or repair-price rule.

For electricity costs, compare the exact model's published consumption with your local utility rate. Our ENERGY STAR equipment collection explains operating-cost comparisons and certification checks. If spreading out the equipment purchase would help, review lease-to-own and financing or restaurant equipment rental; program terms and approval requirements apply.

How to Choose the Right Atosa Refrigerator

1. Measure the Space (Then Add Clearance)

Measure the installation space and the entire route from delivery to placement, including doorways, turns, and ceiling restrictions. Use the exact model’s installation manual for ventilation and service clearances. Include casters, door swing, and shelf-removal access in your measurements; do not apply one clearance measurement to every Atosa refrigerator.

2. Match Capacity to Your Menu

List the ingredients and containers you need to hold between deliveries, including your busiest service periods. Check shelf dimensions and container fit as well as published cubic feet. Allow room for stock rotation and the manufacturer’s required internal airflow rather than sizing solely by meals served or filling every available space.

3. Consider the Workflow

If the unit lives on a busy line, drawer-style undercounters and chef bases save steps because the cook does not have to open a door and reach in. If the unit is a bulk-storage backup for the walk-in, a large three-door reach-in is more efficient. If the unit is for front-of-house grab-and-go, only a glass-door merchandiser will do the job.

4. Verify the Electrical

Check the voltage, frequency, rated current, plug configuration, and circuit requirements on the exact model’s current specification sheet and installation instructions. Have the installation and electrical supply reviewed by a qualified professional where needed. Do not assume every refrigerator in the range uses the same receptacle or circuit.

Installation, Maintenance, and Longevity

Plan regular maintenance from the model’s operating instructions. Service life depends on installation, kitchen conditions, usage, and maintenance; a fixed number of years is not a promise of performance. Build these checks into your equipment-care routine:

Clean the condenser coils monthly. Grease and dust build up on the coils and force the compressor to work harder. A stiff nylon brush and a shop vacuum are all you need. Turn the unit off, brush the coils, vacuum the debris, turn the unit back on.

Inspect the door gaskets quarterly. A torn or hardened gasket lets cold air escape, which forces the compressor to run continuously and drives up your electric bill. Replacement gaskets are inexpensive and ship pre-formed for the exact model.

Keep the unit level and give it airflow. A refrigerator that is not level will not drain condensate properly and will not close its doors fully. Airflow clearance behind and above the unit prevents the condenser from overheating.

For model-specific setup and care, consult the Atosa refrigerator and freezer operating instructions. Use the buying comparisons on this collection page to select the right cabinet, then follow the instructions supplied with your unit.

Compliance and Standards

All Atosa refrigerators sold by The Restaurant Warehouse are NSF-certified for foodservice sanitation, meet the electrical and safety requirements of UL and ETL, and comply with current DOE efficiency standards. Reach-in models should be sealed to the floor or elevated at least six inches to prevent debris and pest harborage, and all interior surfaces are constructed of smooth, easily cleanable stainless steel with removable coated shelving. Many models carry an ENERGY STAR label, which is required or incentivized in a growing number of state and utility rebate programs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Atosa a good brand?

Atosa is a professional-grade commercial refrigeration brand widely used in restaurants, food trucks, and commercial kitchens across North America. Their reach-in refrigerators, undercounter units, and glass-door merchandisers are NSF-certified, ENERGY STAR rated on select models, and backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty with extended warranty options available. Atosa is known for delivering commercial-grade construction — stainless steel interior, self-closing doors, digital controls — at a lower price point than True or Turbo Air, which makes it a strong choice for independent operators.

What is the warranty on an Atosa refrigerator?

Atosa’s current written refrigeration warranty lists three years of parts and labor and five years of sealed-compressor coverage, subject to its terms and exclusions. The additional compressor period is not an extension of full parts-and-labor coverage. Keep the model number, serial number, proof of purchase, and installation date available when requesting warranty service, and confirm coverage for the exact unit with Atosa.

Are Atosa refrigerators ENERGY STAR rated?

Most Atosa reach-in and undercounter models are ENERGY STAR rated. Look for the ENERGY STAR badge on the individual product page, or shop the full ENERGY STAR collection.

How do I adjust the temperature on my Atosa refrigerator?

Most Atosa commercial refrigerators use a digital temperature controller on the front interior wall or externally near the top. Press and hold the SET button for 3 seconds to enter adjustment mode, then use the up/down arrows to change the setpoint. Typical refrigerator range is 33°F to 40°F; freezers hold at -10°F to 0°F. After setting, wait 5 seconds and the display returns to current temperature. For MBF and MCF series, consult page 6-8 of the operator's manual.

How long do Atosa refrigerators last?

Service life varies with installation, ambient conditions, loading, cleaning, and repairs. Follow the maintenance schedule for the exact model and have persistent temperature or operating problems assessed by a qualified technician. Compare repair costs, downtime, and operating needs before deciding to replace a unit; the warranty period is not a predicted service life.

Are Atosa refrigerators suitable for food trucks?

Yes. The MBF8519GR and MBF8532GR low-height reach-ins were engineered specifically for food trucks and mobile catering rigs. The AUR and MGF undercounter series also fit under most food-truck work surfaces.

What is the difference between the AUR and MGF undercounter series?

Both are excellent Atosa undercounters. The AUR series is the current-generation lineup with R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant and updated controls. The MGF series is the previous-generation ENERGY STAR lineup, still in production, and often carries a slightly lower price. Both are backed by the same Atosa warranty.

Is Atosa made in China?

Atosa refrigeration equipment is manufactured in China with quality control managed by Atosa USA, headquartered in Brea, California. The company uses Embraco compressors (Brazil/Slovakia origin) and North American electrical components. All units sold in the U.S. are NSF, ETL, and DOE-certified for commercial food service, and warranty service is handled through Atosa USA's authorized network across the U.S. and Canada. Most Atosa refrigerators ship from U.S. warehouses with fast 1-2 day delivery to major metro areas.

Do Atosa refrigerators require special installation?

Requirements vary by model and location. Before delivery, confirm access, electrical supply, placement, and ventilation against the current installation manual. Follow its instructions for setup, startup, and loading, and use a qualified installer or electrician where required.
